Colts fans oppose Peyton Manning as potential GM after front-office shake-up

Indianapolis Colts fans have reacted negatively to speculation of Peyton Manning becoming the team's general manager following the firing of Chris Ballard. Dan Patrick mentioned Manning's name on his show, suggesting a potential role as a GM and part-owner. Fans expressed skepticism, citing Manning's lack of front-office experience and urging the team to seek someone from outside the previous era. Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has not contacted Manning since Ballard's dismissal. The Colts, currently second in the AFC South, are preparing for their Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings on October 25.
